Hi All

  I can add a bit to this debate ...

Some years ago I had an experimental type of hive that held ten frames 
(not common on UK).

I found that you could split the ten frames into two groups of four and 
fit a central divider to the box that was a syrup feeder of two frames 
width, (there were two entrances available in the floors (bottom Boards) 
that were used. A few extra boxes were used to 'soak up' the spare 
frames. this was a bit like the modern idea of 'yard trashing'.

No notice was taken of which split had the queen until a subsequent 
inspection. The four frame units seemed invigorated and would romp away.
